MRN 2014 - Track on Multimedia services and Real-time Networking (MRN)

With the rapid deployment of all IP networks as well as the wide adoption of smart mobile devices, various modern multimedia applications such as movie on demand, video streaming and conference, and IPTV are offered over heterogeneous networks. The major challenge for those applications is to meet the high Quality of Service requirement for real-time content over limited bandwidth. Network traffic management technologies are critical to enable fair use of network resources among different types of traffic, while still achieving efficient and robust content delivery. This focuses track on the latest challenges, opportunities, and recent advances and developments in multimedia services and real-time networking. We seek original research contributions in various aspects of these fields, including, but not limited to the following topics.
